Is it better to put a h22 motor on the older accords like from 90-93's than
94-97's????

 

same ****. both generations take well to the swap. my car has been ripping for over a year now. have a 96 hybrid.

 

aren't our body of accords heavier than the older ones??? i have a 97....
and do you ever problems w/it????

 

I think the weight differences between the 4th and 5th gen Accords are negligible. Like bgod said it's relatively a drop-in for both cars (but inevitably you run into problems). Although they do not look it, the 4th gen Accords have a "sportier" chassis, although I'm sure 5th gen owners will object to this. (Basically, every iteration of Honda vehicles has become less sporty and more bloated)

 

Exactly how much work would be involved in doing the swap? And money? My 93 Accord Ex is a 5 speed and has about 188,000 miles on it.. although I think the engine will last till at least 250,000 when it goes I figure why get rid of the car? It has not ONE spot of rust (not even on the right rear wheel well where most accords do have one) and I was thinking maybe I would start saving now but I have no idea what I'm getting into NOR who would possibly be able to do a swap like that or what's entailed... any advice would be greatly appreciated... But a bit more OOMPH would be sweet.

Thanks

 

I know what you mean. I'll be getting a new car next year, but I'm never getting rid of this Accord.
My swap was really pricey ( https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=65502 ) but people can get the whole swap done for $3-4K when they do the labor themselves.
